Podcasts about single barrel

We're cracking open a New Riff Single Barrel from Kentucky Bourbon Festival 2025, signed by Master Distiller Brian and chosen as a  Distiller's Row pick. New Riff built its name on transparency and tradition, non chill filtered, bottled in bond releases, and a commitment to quality. This single barrel clocks in at 116 proof and delivers deep caramel, dried fruit, leather and earthy richness from nose to finish. But the bigger question we explore is this: when you're surrounded by incredible bourbon at a festival like KBF, how do you decide which single bottle gets the precious luggage space? We unpack what makes a single barrel special, whether blends are actually more reliable, and whether the market is starting to feel saturated with “single barrel” labels that don't always carry the same meaning. This one stood out not because it shouted the loudest, but because it felt balanced, layered, and genuinely unique. Chapters 00:00 The pour and the signature 00:45 New Riff's backstory 02:00 Philosophy – non chill filtered and bottled in bond 03:10 Nose – Werther's and leather 04:45 Palate – caramelized date richness 06:00 Choosing one bottle at KBF 08:00 Unique vs too different 09:30 Single barrel vs blend

Send a textWe share how Whiskey Thief keeps its farm soul while growing in Louisville and nationwide through direct-to-consumer shipping. We taste a nine-year rye, dig into pot still craft, and map the rising whiskey hub shaping the city's scene.• why grow and stay the same is the goal• how the urban tasting room mirrors the farm vibe• what pot distilling demands from a skilled team• where collaboration beats constant instruction• how maturation, storage, and weather shape flavor• why DTC unlocks access in 46 states• what legal compliance and taxes mean for shipping• how small-batch blending preserves identity• where Louisville's whiskey neighborhood is booming• what we taste in the nine-year ryeListen, like, leave good feedback and subscribeWhiskeythief.comThe first thing you notice is the feel. Gravel under tires at the farm, guitars on the wall in Louisville, and that instant sense you've walked into a place that treats whiskey like a craft and a community. We sat down with owner-operator Walter Zausch, director of distilling Lisa Wicker, head of experiences Amy, and Philip from Kentucky Bourbon Direct to unpack how Whiskey Thief scales without losing its single barrel soul—and why fans across 46 states can finally get bottles shipped legally to their door.We start where their story lives: pot stills, sharp palates, and a team that can make precise cuts without babysitting. Lisa explains how collaboration speeds quality, from early peach brandy iterations to doubling yields while tightening flavor. Then we go deeper into maturation: the moment when the barrel becomes the hero around eight to ten years, how ricked versus palletized storage bends outcomes, and why Kentucky's wild winter swings can turn vanilla, mint, and dry cocoa into surprising notes in a nine-year rye. If you love rye whiskey, this tasting will light up your curiosity—minty lift, caramel undertow, and a clean finish at 121 proof.Access is the other revolution. Philip breaks down the direct-to-consumer engine that handles compliance, taxes, and shipping so craft producers can focus on making great juice. The result is real: Whiskey Thief ships to 46 states, fans no longer leave empty-handed, and brands gain data and margins that keep the lights on without surrendering independence. With Louisville's whiskey hub booming—Heaven's Door, Chicken Cock, WhistlePig, and more within walking distance—the city offers a concentrated tour of American whiskey culture while the farm preserves the barrel-thieving experience you can't get anywhere else.We close with the future: small, intentional blends that mirror the five-barrel magic of on-site tastings, a boutique approach that respects terroir, weather, and the patience great spirits demand. If you're here for craft, character, and smarter access to bottles you actually want, you'll feel at home with us.

  This week on Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan pour a Green River Barrel Proof Wheated Bourbon pick, clocking in at a healthy 124.2 proof. It's bold, it's wheated, and it's ready for a proper breakdown.   Before they sip, the conversation drifts into the wild world of salespeople (the good, the bad, and the persistent) and the history behind the Green River Distilling Company, one of Kentucky's quieter comeback stories.   On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares updates on Kirin potentially selling Four Roses and details about the new A. Smith Bowman Cask Strength lottery — two headlines that definitely have whiskey fans paying attention.   And for “What Whiskey Would You Choose?”, the boys keep it cocktail-focused: What kind of bitters are your go-to for an Old Fashioned?   High proof, industry shakeups, and a little bitters debate to round it out — grab a glass and hang with us.

Send us a textA single barrel Tennessee Whiskey with a blue label. We crack open Jack Daniels Single Barrel Heritage Barrel and follow the trail doubling Jack Daniel's standard toasting time to that unmistakable Tennessee smoothness, asking why this release hits sweeter on the tongue, flares pepper through the mid-palate, and settles into a tobacco echo that begs for a square of chocolate or a quiet cigar. Brian from Bottle2Bond joins us for a pour that turns skeptics into believers, spotlighting the difference toasted oak and maple charcoal filtering make without losing the Jack character fans love.We start with the signature banana-versus-not debate and move into the mechanics that shape it: non-chill filtration for texture, a lower entry proof for balance, and a quick, flare char that preserves the caramelized toast. Brian shares firsthand experience with multiple Jack Daniel's single barrels—mostly stellar, but not all of them—reminding us that single barrel means there will be small variations, but most of the time they are worth chasing. We also map the release details, pricing around $70, and why this line is meant to stay on shelves rather than vanish into hype.Beyond the glass, we dive into whiskey culture. Distillery tours that surprise, barrel picks that educate, and the Tennessee Squire Association—invite-only, rooted in heritage—show how community anchors the pour. Brian brings a maker's angle too, walking us through his Bottle2Bond travel whiskey glass built for real-world bottle shares: compact, tough, and discreetly measured so you can taste smarter. We wrap with our SIP method—shareability, influence, price and end with a confident recommendation for anyone curious about toasted oak, Tennessee tradition, and a finish that lingers with purpose.Pour a glass, press play, and tell us what you taste—banana, graham cracker, pepper, tobacco, or something we missed. If you enjoy the show, follow, share it with a whiskey friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find their next great pour.

Just support us.The moment the cork popped on Ohio's exclusive Woodford Reserve Double Oak Barrel Proof, we knew we were in for something special. This isn't the familiar 94-proof crowd-pleaser; it's a single-barrel snapshot bottled at natural strength, and those few extra proof points change the entire ride. We walk through what makes this OHLQ release unique, why the second, deeply toasted barrel matters so much, and how individual cask character turns a staple into a hunt-worthy collectible.We start with the story behind the pick and why staying at barrel proof after that second barrel reveals more texture, sweetness, and spice. From there, we dive into Barrel #5, a glass that opens with crème brûlée and butterscotch on the nose, glides into green-leaning banana and caramelized sugar on the palate, and finishes with warm oak tannins and a satisfying Kentucky hug. Along the way, we compare tasting notes across the lineup—macchiato-rich profiles, maple-and-French-toast vibes, chai and nutmeg, even bright herbal-citrus—and explain how each barrel expresses Double Oak differently without losing the brand's signature richness.We also put the bottle through our Barrel Bottle Breakdown scoring, talk value at $99.99 versus the standard Double Oak, and share practical buying advice for anyone scanning shelves in Ohio. If you love dessert-forward bourbon with real structure, this release hits the sweet spot: bolder aromatics, deeper body, and a finish that lingers long after the last sip. And if you're newer to the style, this is a master class in how finishing, proof, and single-barrel selection can elevate flavor.If you enjoyed the pour-by-pour breakdown, follow the show, rate us five stars, and share this episode with a bourbon friend.

Merry Christmas from Aussie Bourbon Lovers. For this special Christmas Day episode we crack open a gift bottle: an Angel's Envy Whiskey Hunt Australia single barrel pick.

We talk about why Angel's Envy has become such a well known finished bourbon, why we love the novelty and sweetness of finished whiskey, and why barrel picks are one of the most fun ways to drink something familiar in a completely unique way.

The Old Fo reviews keep coming with a series of single barrels we got our hands on. This one is from SIPS So. Indiana Pick Society. We buy these barrels and split them up while donating a little change to local nonprofits. As we always say do a little good in the hood. 

Pull up a seat and join the Boys as they pair up a couple of bottles that are worth celebrating. Did you know that the Eagle Rare name is fifty years old this year? Well, the Uncertified Whiskey Hunter knows and he's excited to talk about it. Drew found a real ‘dusty' on the shelf and it celebrates the 50 years of the El Tequileño distillery.  It's no coincidence that it's getting close to Christmas, and these spirits are loaded with some sweet and spice and everything nice to warm your bellies and put a glow on your cheeks. You might have a hard time finding these bottles, but that shouldn't stop you from grabbing a whiskey and a tequila and sitting down and hanging with the Boys for a spell. Hopefully this episode puts you in the Holiday Spirit and helps you Make It A Happy Friday!™  

This week on the Bourbon Bytes Podcast, Clifton breaks down a massive wave of upcoming whiskey releases for 2026 — including the rumored return of Knob Creek 12-Year Cask Strength, a newly labeled 7-Year Old Grandad 114, Penelope's new Madagascar Cognac Finish, Blood Oath Pact 12, Lou Gehrig Remus Reserve, a permanent Templeton Rye Double Oak, and a special 250th Anniversary Rittenhouse 10-Year Bottled-in-Bond. Then, it's time for a Byte-Sized Review of one of the most unique American Single Malts of the year: Copperworks Kilt Lifter Whiskey — a collaboration decades in the making between Copperworks Distilling and Pike Brewing. A wild pine-forward nose gives way to a layered palate with floral brightness, cinnamon oatmeal, and a sweet Cinnabon-like finish. At $60 and 100 proof, Clifton calls it one of the most “recognizable and memorable” whiskeys he's tried all year. Plus: Civilization VII gets a major free DLC update, and two new games hit the market this week — Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on Switch 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator (PS5), complete with its new Stranger Things “Hawkins” expansion.   00:00 - Intro & Why 2026 Whiskey Releases Are Exploding 01:20 - Knob Creek 12 Cask Strength: The Return? 03:03 - Old Grandad 114 Single Barrel (7-Year!) 04:12 - Penelope Madagascar Cognac Release 04:43 - Blood Oath Pact 12 Red Wine Finish 05:49 - Remus “Lou Gehrig” Reserve Mashbill Breakdown 07:24 - Templeton Rye Double Oak Announcement 08:23 - Rittenhouse 10-Year Bottled-in-Bond for 250th Anniversary 09:57 - Whiskey of the Year: Elijah Craig Barrel-Proof Rye 11:58 - Gaming News: Civ VII Free DLC + Huge Updates 14:47 - Gaming News: Metroid Prime 4 & Microsoft Flight Simulator Stranger Things Pack 15:52 - Byte-Sized Review: Copperworks Kilt Lifter Whiskey 23:46 - Closing & Tease for Next Week's Tequila Cask Review

Taylor isn't just hype, he's the blueprint. We trace Taylor's fingerprints across bourbon history, from steam‑heated warehouses and Bottled‑in‑Bond standards to the modern lineup that keeps collectors camping in line. Then we put the whiskeys in the glass and let the ratings fly.We start with Small Batch and unpack why it punches above its weight: a vanilla‑forward nose with apricot and cherry cordial, rich legs, and a medium, oak‑tinged finish that nudges for another sip. From there we step into the heavy hitters—Single Barrel precision, Barrel Proof power, and a Straight Rye that swerves minty and bright—and talk about what changes in the glass as proof, grain, and warehouse floors shift. We also spotlight the fabled limiteds: Four Grain's candy‑red fruit and clove, Amaranth's nutty depth, 18 Year Marriage's layered elegance, Cured Oak and Seasoned Wood's stave science, Tornado Surviving's weather‑worn magic, and the Warehouse C release that reads like dessert without losing its backbone.Along the way, we share tasting notes you can actually use, debate our house scoring system, and even land a rare perfect mark for Four Grain thanks to that long, fruit‑laden finish. If you're new to the line, you'll leave with a smart game plan for what to hunt first. If you're deep in the racks, you'll pick up nuances that make your next pour more rewarding. Either way, it's a masterclass in how grain bills, wood seasoning, and aging environments shape flavor—and why Taylor's legacy still sets the pace.Subscribe on your favorite podcast app, drop a review if you learned something, and tell us which EH Taylor expression deserves the crown.

Single Barrel Saturday returns with more than 300 Ohio locations, a curated lineup that refuses to repeat itself, and a community energy that feels like bourbon's version of a block party. We brought Ann on to take us behind the scenes: how stores opt in, why allocation rules exist, what makes Ohio the fourth-largest American whiskey market, and how her team balances profiles so every table finds something to love.We get tactical without losing the fun. You'll learn how the OHLQ locator really works, when a UPC reveals a specific barrel (hello, Willet), and why some bottles land in waves months after the pick. We map price-to-proof-to-flavor value plays, call out sleeper hits—think a high-proof, double-digit Horse Soldier and under-the-radar Larceny—and explain the logic behind broader favorites like Dickel 15 that fly early because of low yields and near-barrel-strength bottling. If finishes are your thing, we dig into the flavor impact of Mizanara oak, Calvados, Moscatel, and Armagnac through the Dark Arts lineup and beyond.We also break down how Ohio builds its pick teams—staff, podcasters, bar owners, and seasoned enthusiasts—to triangulate barrels that are good for different reasons: classic, candy-coated, spice-forward, and curveball. Expect real talk on camping vs. store-hopping, looping etiquette, and the smartest first-pick priorities if you're eyeing Willet purple tops or a lone Heaven Hill Bottled-in-Bond single barrel. It's a field guide for a day that's equal parts hunt and hangout, where people open bottles in line and trade tips like set lists.Ready to plan your route?

We chased that question all night and landed on Old Ezra 7—a seven-year, 117-proof pour with copper color, brown sugar on the nose, and a cinnamon hug that doesn't quit. Before we pop the cork, we set the stage with a quick tour of craft roots in the Ohio River Valley and why provenance still matters when you're choosing bottles that feel authentic, not algorithm-made.From there we take you inside Ohio's Single Barrel Saturday—a statewide release day with a real selection team, fewer sample-box picks, and more collaboration with distillers and blenders. Think strategy over luck: where to line up, how to plan, and why the experience is as much about community as it is about limited bottles. We also open the doors to our Crystal Glencairn Club: limited spots, a high-end annual tasting with food pairings, first access to barrel picks, and current vouchers for a Maker's Mark Private Select. If you've been waiting for a way in, this is it.Then the main event: Old Ezra 7 vs the usual heavyweights like Booker's and Rare Breed. We break down the mash bill lineage, price consistency, and the surprise factor of a bottle that still rings up at $39.99. On the palate we get caramel, vanilla, dark cherry, and char, followed by that signature cinnamon heat. One of us scores taste and finish a perfect five, the other holds a firm four, averaging to 17/18—rare air for a bottle at this price. We finish with a literal bottle kill, travel plans, our holiday party at Gervasi, and a tease of a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway that will put real whiskey in your hands.If you love value pours, statewide release hunts, and honest tasting notes without the fluff, you're home.

Jim and Todd welcome Joe Beatrice, Founder, and Tripp Stimson, Chief Whiskey Scientist, from the highly acclaimed Barrel Craft Spirits to the studio. While their award-winning whiskeys have graced the show before, this episode offers listeners a chance to hear directly from the minds behind the brand. Joe and Tripp share the origin story of Barrel Craft Spirits, their unique philosophy as non-distilling producers (NDPs), and their intricate approach to sourcing, blending, and finishing exceptional spirits. The tasting kicks off with a Barrel Foundation Single Barrel release, clocking in at 105.8 proof. Tripp explains this expression builds upon their original Foundation bourbon (their first product bottled below cask strength at 100 proof). It involves selecting unique barrels, creating a micro-blend just above proofing strength, re-barreling that blend into a single cask, and allowing it further maturation in a specific rickhouse location before final bottling. This particular barrel, sourced from Indiana, offers delightful notes of stone fruit like peach and apricot. Next up is the Barrel Foundation Double Barrel. This takes select whiskeys used in the original Foundation blend (aged 5-9 years) and finishes them in new, heavily toasted American oak barrels. The result is a darker, richer expression compared to the single barrel, showcasing notes of milk chocolate, apple, and nuanced pepper, demonstrating the transformative power of a secondary maturation in toasted oak. Joe Beatrice then takes listeners back nearly 14 years to the brand's inception. He recounts a random distillery visit sparking the idea, quickly realizing he wanted to build a brand, not necessarily a distillery, focusing intensely on sourcing and blending the best possible liquid. He discusses the early days, embracing cask strength when few others did, championing transparency as an NDP during a time of consumer skepticism, and gambling on the idea that drinkers would crave variety and new experiences over consistency – a gamble that clearly paid off. Tripp Stimson shares his extensive background in biochemistry and spirits R&D, explaining how his path converged with Joe's. They bonded over a shared philosophy, recognizing the immense challenge and capital required to build a distillery versus the creative freedom and market potential of focusing on sourcing and blending expertise, drawing parallels to the esteemed merchant bottler tradition in Scotland. The conversation delves deep into the art and science of their blending process. The core team, consisting of Joe, Tripp, and Nick Christensen, starts with whiteboard concepts and intent but allows the whiskeys themselves to guide the final creation. They meticulously sample and catalog thousands of barrels, developing a unique shorthand to understand the characteristics imparted by different distilleries, mash bills, ages, yeast strains, distillation styles, cooperage, and even micro-climates from various maturation locations across the country. They speak of layering flavors like building a symphony, using different barrels (young and old) to "fill the gaps" across the palate – from the initial taste to the mid-palate complexity and the lingering finish – iterating until the blend reaches its optimal saturation point of complexity without any single component overpowering the others. They also explain their "derived mash bill" calculation, providing consumers with valuable data points even for complex blends. The third tasting features Barrel Bourbon Batch 37, a blend of 8-to-15-year-old bourbons from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, bottled at 111.38 proof. Joe describes these numbered batches as their flagship line, representing a high bar for their blending prowess. Tripp elaborates on the value of incorporating significantly aged whiskeys (like 15-year-old) not necessarily for the age statement itself, but for the specific, nuanced qualities they bring, balancing them with younger components to achieve a complete, well-rounded, and complex flavor profile that avoids being overly oaked. Finally, they pour the Barrel Cask Finish Series: Armagnac Finish. This series highlights the interaction between their whiskey blends and specific cask types. This expression uses bourbons aged 7-to-15 years, finished in Armagnac casks for up to two years. Tripp emphasizes their patient approach to finishing, sometimes waiting years for the whiskey and cask to fully integrate and reach their peak potential, rather than adhering to rigid timelines. The result is a rich, complex whiskey redolent with dark fruit notes like fig and raisin, perfect for contemplative sipping. Throughout the episode, Joe and Tripp offer fascinating insights into the evolution of the whiskey market, the rise of the educated consumer, navigating market fluctuations, and Barrel Craft Spirits' strategy of continuous innovation and quality across various price points.

Jim and Todd take the show on the road to the beautiful Elkwood Farm in Midway, Kentucky, home of Bluegrass Distillers. They sit down with friend of the show Sam Rock for his third appearance to discuss the distillery's incredible evolution and taste through a stellar lineup of their unique whiskeys. Sam shares the story of their new home, a historic farm they purchased in 2020 and transformed into a premier grain-to-glass distillery, complete with a stunning, speakeasy-style tasting room. The tasting journey begins with Bluegrass Distillers' signature 7-Year-Old Blue Corn Bourbon. Sam delves into the agricultural challenges and rewards of growing their own non-GMO blue corn, which imparts a distinctively nutty and balanced flavor compared to traditional yellow corn. This Bottled-in-Bond expression, made on their original pot still, offers a fantastic mouthfeel and a profile driven by the primary grain, a testament to the influence of unique corn varietals. Next, they sample the Midway 'Lee's Branch' Rye, a 7-year-old rye finished in toasted French oak barrels. This expression is part of the 'Midway' brand, a line of finished ryes that pays homage to the history of their new hometown. The hosts explore its complex notes of minty spice, toasty marshmallow, and a hint of Christmas spice, making for a perfect sipping rye. The third pour is a special single-barrel selection of their Toasted Oak Bourbon, bottled for the Bourbon Burn bike ride. Sam explains their double-barreling process, which involves reconditioning and toasting their own used barrels to bring sugars to the surface, creating a consistently sweet and balanced profile with notes of s'mores, toasted marshmallow, and rich chocolate. The lineup continues with a spectacular Spanish Oak Finished Bourbon. Sam recounts his journey to Spain during the pandemic-era barrel shortage, where he discovered a family-run cooperage that handcrafts barrels from aged staves. This 11-year-old sourced bourbon is finished in these unique Spanish Oak barrels, resulting in a deep mahogany color and a rich, savory flavor profile with a spicy, drying finish that captivates the hosts. To top off an incredible tasting, Sam brings out a bonus pour: a phenomenal 18-Year-Old Bourbon. This well-aged whiskey defies expectations, presenting not just oak and leather but a surprising and delightful burst of fruit, including notes of burnt cherry, sweet cream, and holiday fruitcake. The episode is a deep dive into what makes a modern distillery thrive, touching on the evolution of the bourbon consumer, the importance of authenticity, and the exciting future for Bluegrass Distillers, including plans for a restaurant, a bourbon club, and community events at their beautiful Midway location.

This week, host Todd Ritter flies solo while Jim Shannon is on vacation in Europe. He's joined by special guests Dude Pool and JD Fritches, two of the hosts from the popular Bourbon Hunters podcast. The guys kick things off by tasting their very first legacy distillery barrel pick as a podcast, a fantastic Old Forester 100-proof single barrel selected from Warehouse I, floor two. The second pour of the episode is a special single barrel from Pursuit Spirits, a pick that was originally made by bourbon personality Fred Minnick before he had to return the barrel. The Bourbon Hunters crew cheekily named the bottle "Minnick's Muffins" in his honor and share the story of how they were able to acquire the unique barrel, which features a creme brulee stave. Dude and JD share their personal "aha" moments that got them hooked on America's native spirit. Dude's journey began after a six-year hiatus from alcohol for health reasons; a friend introduced him to bourbon mixed with ginger ale, which helped him start recognizing the nuanced flavors he'd missed when taking whiskey as a shooter. He eventually evolved to drinking it neat to relax and reflect at the end of the day. JD's passion for collecting was ignited during the COVID-19 pandemic when his boss introduced him to the world of allocated bottles. He recalls overpaying for his first bottles of Eagle Rare and Angel's Envy at Justin's House of Bourbon but found his true love for the hobby in the camaraderie of sharing pours with fellow enthusiasts. Dude shares how The Bourbon Road podcast's easy-going style inspired him to start his own show. He jumped in headfirst, bought the gear, and recorded the first three episodes on the road with co-host Tyler during their inaugural trip to the Bourbon Trail. They quickly found that listeners gravitated toward their off-topic conversations about football, movies, and their personal lives just as much as the bourbon talk. They describe their show as an "entertainment podcast while drinking bourbon," offering a different, more personal angle than a traditional review show. The crew has since grown to a "rotating crew" of four hosts—Dude, JD, Tyler, and Brett Brian—with frequent guest appearances from Jason Calori. Having just released their 350th episode, the hosts discuss how they balance the podcast with family and busy schedules. Dude treats their weekly recording session as a priority—a dedicated time to slow down and hang out with his friends. For JD, an "extreme extrovert" and a transplant to the area, the podcast has been a way to find his community and build some of his closest friendships. They share that their favorite episodes are often the ones where the whole crew gets together, the wheels come off, and the laughter is non-stop, or when a member tells an unforgettable personal story, like the time a co-host's "Code Brown" incident at a pool led to a barrel pick being named after it.

This is a new Tasting Talk on Distilling the West where Dan and Dave dive into 503 Distilling's Single Barrel Bourbon.

They explore how the single barrel expression brings depth, balance, and individuality to the pour, making each taste a unique experience. Their conversation highlights what sets this bourbon apart and why it deserves a spot on the shelf of any whiskey lover.

On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack into the latest single barrel release from Jack Daniel's: the Toasted Heritage Barrel Single Barrel. Before the pour, they catch up on Emma's new molars, Cole's recent exam results, and dive into the history of Jack Daniel's Heritage Barrel line.

Join hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter on another episode of The Bourbon Road podcast, recorded live from the Corner Rick House in Frankfort, Kentucky. They are joined by a special returning guest and friend of the show, Diane Strong, for an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated 2025 Bourbon on the Banks Festival. Diane gives listeners the ultimate insider's guide to the festival, taking place on Saturday, October 4, 2025. She reveals this year's title sponsor is the local and historic Benson Valley Bourbon. Get ready for an unforgettable, free afterparty at the farmers' market, featuring a full bar, food, a cigar lounge, and an incredible musical lineup with local favorites Creek Water opening for headliner Noah Thompson, the 2022 winner of American Idol. Diane also details the full schedule of events leading up to the main festival, including a Thursday mixology class, the kickoff party at Whiskey Thief, the Friday VIP event celebrating Women in Bourbon, and a special bourbon pairing lesson, "The Stave is the Rage," with the world-renowned Peggy Noe Stevens. The highlight of the episode is a special tasting of four of the twelve exclusive single barrel selections that will be available for purchase at the festival. These unique barrels were hand-selected by the Bourbon on the Banks team and will be prominently marked by 7-foot flags at the distilleries' tents. The expressions tasted on the show include: Angel's Envy Port Finish Single Barrel Pick: The tasting kicks off with this crowd-pleasing pour. The hosts discover inviting notes of campfire, overripe berries, and dark vanilla on the nose. The palate is savory and rich, carrying over those ripe berry notes from the fortified wine finish, making it a perfect pairing for a fine cigar. Casey Jones Distillery Single Barrel Rye: This selection comes with a great story—the picking team was tied, so they let the distillery make the final choice on this fantastic rye. It's described as a "bourbon drinker's rye" that surprised the panel during the blind selection. It features a complex nose of tobacco, mint chocolate, and honey, with a palate that delivers notes of candied orange and caramel apple. Bespoken Spirits 12-Year Single Barrel: A truly unique offering, this 12-year-old Barton-sourced bourbon is finished in Riesling wine barrels. It immediately impresses with a rich, aged nose of mature oak and concentrated fruit. The hosts praise it as an "exceptional whiskey," with a massively concentrated flavor profile that makes it a perfect special-occasion nightcap. Short Barrel 8-Year Single Barrel Bourbon: The tasting concludes with this powerhouse, an 8-year-old bourbon distilled at the former OZ Tyler distillery (now Green River) and bottled at a staggering 135.7 proof. Despite the high proof, it offers a beautifully complex palate with notes of milk chocolate, chewy cherry, burnt caramel, nougat, and a hint of sandalwood. Tune in for incredible stories, detailed tasting notes, and your complete guide to one of Kentucky's premier bourbon festivals. For those who want to attend, Diane urges listeners to act fast, as tickets for many events are limited or already sold out.

Send us a textBuried in the storied history of American whiskey lies an untold tale of innovation, mentorship, and the extraordinary impact of one man—Nearest Green. As the first African American master distiller in the United States, Green's legacy was nearly lost to time until the creation of Uncle Nearest Premium Whiskey.In this episode, we crack open the Uncle Nearest Black Label Single Barrel, bottled at a robust 123 proof, and dive deep into the fascinating history behind the brand. The story unfolds like a historical drama—Jack Daniel, as a young orphan sent to work as a chore boy, meets Nearest Green, an enslaved man with profound knowledge of distillation. Green teaches Daniel a special charcoal filtering technique from West Africa that would eventually become known as the Lincoln County Process—the defining characteristic that separates Tennessee whiskey from bourbon.As we sip this mahogany-colored spirit, we explore its grassy notes with hints of vanilla wafer sweetness and leathery undertones, discussing how the charcoal filtering affects the flavor profile. The whiskey delivers a quick heat that stays on the top of the mouth rather than giving that typical "Kentucky hug," leading to a grain-forward finish that sparked considerable debate about its overall balance and character.Beyond the liquid in our glasses, we examine the meteoric rise of Uncle Nearest as a brand—from its founding in 2017 to winning hundreds of awards and expanding to all 50 states and 12 countries in just a few years. However, this rapid growth has led to recent financial troubles, with reports of a $108 million loan default threatening the company's future.Whether you're fascinated by whiskey history, interested in supporting historically significant brands, or simply looking for your next premium bottle, join us for this enlightening conversation about a spirit that's more than just a drink—it's a long-overdue recognition of a pivotal figure in American whiskey heritage.

Fort Hamilton Distillery is located in Brooklyn, New York and was founded in 2016 by Alex Clark and his wife Amy Grindeland. We caught up with this dynamic duo during our recent trip to the Hoochenanny Whiskey and Music festival. Fort Hamilton strives to make an array of spirits, but the brand was founded on the premise of creating authentic New York style rye that was popular before prohibition. In this episode, you will get to hear our interview with Alex that took place at the festival and you will also get to here our opinion of their rye whiskey once we arrived back in Kentucky and revisited it. We've never done an episode like this for the podcast and you won't want to miss it. Alex is a fascinating individual and he brings an unparalleled energy to whiskey making and his brand. We had very limited experience with Fort Hamilton before visiting NY. If you aren't familiar with Fort Hamilton, we promise you will know about them very soon because they are doing some amazing things. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPVisit https://woodworkcollective.shop and enter code MASHUP for a 15% discount on your orderMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!

This is The Beer Is Fundamental Show. This is Episode 146 and we want to welcome you once again to the NeighBeerHood where craft beer is always the talk of the town. We are your hosts, BT aka O-Beer-Wan Kenobi the Jedi Knight of craft beer and Lady T. There's a lot that is happening in the world of craft beer, spirits and wines. This is especially the case for liquor and spirits. We discuss these issues while sipping on Blanton's Single Barrel, Eagle Rare 10 Year, and Weller Special Reserve. Kentucky's bourbon and whiskey industry is in a downturn with several distilleries shrinking its workforce and closing a barrel-making plant in Louisville, Kentucky. The future of the reportedly billion-dollar, Black-owned whiskey brand, Uncle Nearest, is in receivership and facing the possibility of being totally taken over.

This week, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter venture down a sweeter path on The Bourbon Road podcast for a truly decadent and educational experience. They are joined by a very special guest, Nicole Patel, the founder and master chocolatier of the Austin-based Delysia Chocolatier. In a fascinating twist, Nicole reveals that her journey to becoming a chocolatier began after earning a master's degree in engineering. She discusses how her engineering mindset and a challenge to conquer the particular science of chocolate making—from tempering to managing temperature and humidity—led her to create her business. Throughout the episode, Nicole guides Jim and Todd through a blind tasting, pairing a variety of spirits with selections from her "History of Chocolate" tasting set without any advance knowledge of the whiskeys. She provides expert instruction on the proper way to experience the pairings: first tasting the bourbon, then letting a piece of chocolate melt on the tongue to appreciate its individual flavors, and finally, combining the two to see how they interact and transform one another. The result is an exploration of complementary and contrasting flavors that will inspire listeners to host their own tasting parties. The pairings on this episode include: Round 1: Jim's Blanton's Single Barrel, with its traditional caramel and baking spice notes, is paired with Delysia's Spiced Ganache truffle. Todd's seven-year Old Fitzgerald wheated bourbon, featuring cherry and honey notes, is matched with a Chipotle Orange truffle made with unique ruby chocolate. Round 2: Jim brings out a Weller 12 Year, noted for its cherry and oak profile, which he and Todd both pair with the complex Mexican Mole truffle, containing a blend of eight peppers and six spices. Todd also tastes his Old Grand-Dad Bottled-in-Bond, with its characteristic peanut note, against the spicy chocolate. Round 3: The hosts throw some curveballs. Jim pours a Michter's Barrel Strength Bourbon, featuring dark fruit and caramel notes, which Nicole pairs with the Apple Pie truffle. Todd selects a Laird's Apple Brandy, which is also expertly paired with the Apple Pie truffle, with its notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and tart green apple. Round 4: For the final tasting, Jim enjoys an Angel's Envy Cask Strength finished in tawny port barrels, bringing savory, dark grape notes. This is paired with the White Peach Balsamic white chocolate truffle. Todd concludes with a peaty Ardbeg Corryvreckan scotch, which Nicole matches with a simple yet elegant Smoked Cacao truffle, made with 85% bittersweet chocolate and salt smoked in a Texas barbecue pit. Join the roadies for an episode that proves there are no wrong answers in pairing, only delicious experiments. Learn about the anatomy of a truffle, the art of flavor creation, and why bourbon and chocolate are a match made in heaven.
